r VOLUME VII.-NUMBER 1078. CHARLESTON, S. C., THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY ll, 1869._SIX DOLLARS PER ANNUM BY TELEGRAPH. THE STATE SVEREME COURT. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE SEWS ] COLUMBIA, April 24.-ID the Supreme Court to-day, General McGowan cloeed the caso for his side, in the great negro bond case. He was answered by Mr. Thompson on several points, which concluded thc most interesting and im? portant ease of this term. General McGowan spoke some twelve hours against the val! !ity ot tho bonds. Both sides of the question have been most thoroughly discussed, and it is pro? bable that all similar casc3 will be continued by agreement, sosa to let the decision in this case settle tho principle involved. Owing to its great importance, the decision in this case will not be rendered until the va? cancy caused by Hoge's resignation is filled. After some further unimportant business, thc court adjourned until Monday, when the Second Circuit w?l be peremptorily called. EUROPE. i; - THE LONDON PRESS ON THC CUBAN QUESTION PBOMPT ACTION OF THE FAENCE GOVERNMENT SUCCESS CF THE SPANISH LOAN. LONDON, April 22.-The London Post of to? day-a conservative Whig organ-has an ela? borate editorial article on the Cuban question, in which it mentions that it is asserted that President Grant bas A longing eye upon Cuba, and would not be unwilling to distract the at? tention of the people of the United States from watching the comrie of internal affairs by a war with eomo foreign power. A conflict with Spain cannot leavo any doubt respect? ing the issue, unless England and France should interfere. A blow dealt at Cuba would be tantamount to a blow dealt towards the whole of the West Indies, and the acquisi? tion of Cuba might be followed by that of Ja? maica and Martinique. The same paper quotes the recent acquisions of territory by the United States aa a proof that it wants to acquire by piecemeal all the possessions held bj European powers in that latitude, and would naturally commence by Cuba, because it belongs to the weall est of the powers bavins- settlements in the West Indies. France and England will doubt? less determine whether these designs against Cuba will be tolerated, or aid Spoin in retaining her colony. The French press has agitated the question much in the same tenor, and special meetings cf the French Cabinet were held on Tuesday and Wednesday, which resulted in a special envoy.being sent last night to London with dispatches referring to the present complica? tion^ f events. The Spanish loan of ?8,000,000 waa launched hare to-day through tho medium of J. S- Mor? gan & Co., and is meeting with good success.

QUARANTINE. It xiii be seen from tho following corres? pondence that during the ensuing summer months, vessels having clean bills of health granted or countersigned by a Consul of thc United States will not meet with detention at the quarantine ground : BnrnsH CONSULATE, I Cn ABLES TON, April 21, 1869.1 To Dr. Robert L<?1?; Health Officer Fort of Charleston : Sm-Perceiving from Me publication of the quarantine law lately eD.icted for this State, tnat the thirty day period of quarantine is only expressly required of the vessels designated in the first' subdivision of the second sectioa of the act, I. have the honor to ask of you whether you have established ar y rules which, by compliance therewith nt +be ports of departure by masters of ves? sels, may satisfy you of the absence of pes? tilential contagious and infectious disease at such ports., at the time of the vessel's depar? ture ? In other words, whether clean bills of health from such ports would not be sufficient to take vessels out of the first subdivision and place them among the vessels in thc second ? which vessels seem to bo subject only to such detention os in your judgment may bc neces? sary. I am, sir, Your very obe lient serva ot, t?. P. WALKER, H. M. Consul. HEALTH OFFICE, PORT OF CHABT.*VION, / April 2i. :S'?9. J H. P. Walker, Esq , H. B. ?? Cona I, Charleston: Sra-I have the honor to ackJO..tedre your communication of tho 21st inst., ?c?trii g to be informed what rules and regulations have been established for the execution of the Quaran? tine laws In this harbor. I beg le: ve to say that all bills of health must be signed, or countersigned, by the American Contra), with official seal attached, or agent (if no Consul) of the American Govern? ment, and it no agent, then the principal of? ficial of the city and po-i. ol the healthy or un? healthy condition of tbt port of departure. If this latter contingency should exist, the vessel will be detained at quarantine until such bills of health can be authenticated by ber Ma? jesty's Consul at Charleston. For further information, I respectfully refer you to my letter of the 1st instant, to the mer? chants engaged iu tho West India trade. Furthermore, all permits of examination and discharge must be paid for, when issued, according to tonnage, as in tho harbor of New York. 1 am, Bh\yery respectfully, ? BoBEnr LKBBY, M. D., Health Officer. That the foregoing may be better under? stood, we reprint and subjoin the letter of the 1st instant, to which thc health officer makes reference, viz: CHABLESTON, April 1,1869. To Messrs. Welch & Brandes. Risky <fe Creigh ton, A. Canale. Bart & Wtrth, W. P. Hall and J. A. Ens'-ow ? Co. GENTLEMEN-I have the honor to acknowl? edge your letter of 31st ult., requesting to be informed "as to what restrictions are imposod by the recent quarantine law, upon vessels trading between this port and the .British and Spanish West Indies during the summer sea sort." I beg leave to inform you tbat the act of the General Assembly, passed on the six'h day of September, 1868, establishing quarantine at Georgetown, Charleston and Hilton Head, will be rigidly executed. The second sectic i of this act 6xes the terms of quarantine, viz : ..Vessels arriving at tho ports of Georg" town, Charleston ani Hilton Hoad shall be subject < to quarantine as follows: '.1. All vessels li om any placo where pesti? lential,' contagious or infectious disease exist? ed at the time of their departure, or which i shall have arrived at such place and proceeded menee tucitajci ui mtvt pvi-?g, ?**, M- I-.? which, during the voyage, any case of such i disease shall have occurred, arriving between ? the first day of May and the first of November, shall remain at quarantine for at least thirty days after their arrival, and at least twenty . days after their cargo shall have boon dis? tharged. and shall perform such other quaran? tine as the health officers shall prescribe. "2. AU vessels from any place (including islands) in Asia, Atrica or the Mediten anean, or from any of the West Indies, Bahamas, Ber? muda or Western Islands, or from any place in America, in the ordinary passage from which they pass south of Hilton Head ; and all ves? sels on board of which, during the voyage or while at the port of their departure, any pei sou shall hive been sick, arriving between tho first day of May and tho first day of November, and all vessels from a foreign port, and not em? braced in the first subdivision of this section, shall, on arriving at the quarantine groun?, be subject to visitation by the health officers, but shall not be detained beyond th o requisite time for due examination and observation, unless they shall have had on board during the voyage some case of infectious, contagious or pestilen? tial disease, in which oase they shall be sub? ject to such quarantine and r?gulai iocs as the health officers may prescribe. "3. All vessels embraced in the foregoing provisions, which are navigatod by steam, shall be subject only to such length of quaran? tine and regulations as tbs health officer shall enjoin, uiless they shall have had on hoard during the voyage some case of infec? tious, contagious or pestilential disease, io which c? io thev shall bo subject to such quar? antine as the health officers shall proscribe." This ia the law. TJron a careful consideration of this section of law, I am of opinion that the first clauso is imperative, and that all vessels from any port where, at the time of their departure, any in? fectious, pestilential or contagious disease is prevailing, whether lue crew and passengers have oeeu healthy or sot, must be quarantined by this act for at least thirty days atter arrival, and at least twenty days after the cargoes have been discharged. The second clause, in my judgment, admits all from ports named in tho section, and are dctaiued only for visitation and e xamination by tho health officer, unless they snail have hod on board during the voy? age* some case of disease iu tho foregoing clause. The third cl tuse, in regard to steam vessels, is entirely discretionary, unless they shall have had on board during the passage any of t he prescribed diseases. Thus, gentlemen, you have my interpreta? tion of the quarantine laws, entrusted io me for tho protection of the community of Charles? ton and the prevention by importation of all epidemic or contagious diseases. Whilst it would give me much pain to trammel or em? barrass your trade or commerce in any manner, I have a duty to perform, and that tearlessly and impartially, to execute the law, for which I have been selected by the Executive of South Carolina. I am, gentlemen, very respect'ully, Ko BEBT LXBBT, M. D., Health Officer Port of Chaileston. F.'-LSE-PACKED COTTON.-Yesterday, a lot of n:r.uteen bales of cotton, from Abbeville, was offered to Messrs. Blakely & Gibbes. Mr. Gibbes sampled tho cotton and alter offering 254 cents per pound for it, made a close crimi? nation of it, and found eighteen bales of it to be falsely packed, beiug filled in tho middle of the balea with cotton seed and wet and rotten cotton. On boring into the middle of the bales bushels of seed were found. The young mau who had charge of tho cotton asserts very pos? itive that the fraud was entirely unknown to him, and that the packing was done on his mother's plantation by th6 freedmen, who had au intercut in the crop of one-h lit Tho mer? chants and committee of tho Board of Trade have, we leam determinad not to prosecute the pa?ry in this case before giving him a chance to clear himself.-Columbia Plionix, 2li?i. -Several recent events in England are lead? ing to a largely increased emigtation fron that country to thit). Tho most important of these aro the closing of two great dock-yards by tho admiralty, and tho long strike at Preston. The workmen in both places aro coming or aro pre? paring to ayune to this couutry in very large numbers, and they will bo of tho best cla-js of emigrants, meu skilled in thoir work. Tho prescut condition of the cof on manufacture or of tho shipbuilding business is no' such as to alford any very good groun ls for the be ief that tho meu willfi'd employment promptly, but it is apparent to all who read the descrip? tion of tho state of affairs in manufacturing towns where work ia slack or wholly suspend ed, that the exchauce o F. M? hurt for America will not bo for the worse. If theso two branches of trade should improves in activity the adai tional supply of woikmen would bo greatly to our advantage. AFFAIRS IN TUE STATE. Greenville. Thc Mountaineer says : "During the first part of this week a vf ry heavy rain fell here, doing some little injury by 'washing.' Tho fruit crop, we are glad to bo able to state, was not entirely destroyed by the recent frosts, al? though the supply will be much shortened. Georgetown. The Times says : "After along biege of dry woather we were Gladdened by a ?bower ofrui? on Tuesday, which although not very heavy, will be of great advantage to OUT1 fields and gardens. Our planters are busy sowine their seed and are much cheered by tho spring weather, which is at present of delightful tem? perature." Edgefield. Thursday night last, Simkin's mill, in Edge field County, below Beech Island, was entirely destroyed by fire. The mill was used as a grist and Baw mill, and the same water power running a cotton gin. Near the mill is a store where were congregated a crowd of mon, and it is thought the fire originated from a match being thrown among some loose cotton, which communicated to the mill. Tho loss of the mill alone is about $5000, which is a sad calam? ity to the neighborhood. Besides the burning of the mill, a quantity of corn and cotton was Mso destroyed. Barnwell. Tho Barnwell .Sentinel comes to ns enlarged and cl.-.r1 in a new dress. The Journal says : .* The protracted drought from which vc have suffered for many weeks was teiminated on last Tuesday by a most re? freshing rain. The gardens look fully a hun? dred per cent, bettor, and the young corn is looking green and promising. " The next sales-day will take placo at Barn? well, alter which the county offices will be re? moved to Blackville the County Commission era having rented the Methodist Parsonage for their accommodation. The MethoTiat Cum li will be uaed for the courthouse." Laurens. There was quite a spirited agricultural meet? ing at Laurensville on Monday last. The dwelling house of Mre. Mary A. Gore, in Laurens District, was burnt on the night of March 19th. The sleeping inmates narrowly escapod, and almost the entire contents of the house were consumed. A negro man and wo? man, husband and wife, (the last but recently living on tho place) have been arrested and are in jail, charged with applying tho torch. The Laurensville Herald Bays : "Sine? ur last abundant rains have visited all parts of the district, to the advantage of the growing wheat and oat crops, which were beginning to Buffer irom the cold, dry, windy weather which bas prevailed for li month. We may now re? gard the frosty king aa abdicated and the floral queen as fairly enthroned, and putting on her royal and graceful regalia for the sea JOH." The same paper notices the death, on the 20th inst., of a little girl, aged about ten years, by the nome of Lillie Harris, daughter of Major N. 8. Harr.s, near Clinton, in thia district. The little girl, we learn, was caught by a falling tree near her father's residence, during a gale, ! and crushed instantly to death, it being neccB- I Bary io cut the tree in two before tho bodv of ! the' unfortunate little creature could be ex'tri- i c&ted. Orangcburg. A colored boy by the name of Edward Black was found dead a few days since, in the field ot Mr. Pani C. Stroman. The finding of the cor- i oner's inquest was-died from neglect and hunger. He was a boy of unsound mind, and no one knew that he was about tho premises until discovered by Mr. Stroman in going over his fiolds the day before tho inquest. He was then dead, and by appearances, must have boon dead for several days. Tho Orangeburg News give thc following ac- | count of a bloody murder in the Fork: "On last Monday morning, about six o'clock, as ' Mr. W. L. W. Biley and two colored laborers | were making arrangements, in his horse lot, , :o commence the week's work, two white men, j Hansford S. Porter and Millcdgo Porter, his j unexpectedly to Mr. Riley. Shortly after their arrival Mr. Janice W. Jordan, an employee of | Mr. Riley's, alao came in, and spoke to the Por- , tera, shaking hands with Hansford. Milledgo , Porter had in bis bands a double barrel gun, and told Jordan that be had come to arrest bim and take him to Orangeburg, at the same time pointing his gnu at him. Jordan le msrkcd,'Don't reckon, but I surrender.' Jor? dan then took Riley asido and asked him what it meant. Riley said he did not know; ask him fci his authority. Thoy then ttepped back to where the Porters were standing and Jordan asked Porter to let bim soo his au tb cn ty for the arrest. Jordan und Riley both were stand? ing between tho Porters. Millodge Porter re? plied that he 'did not have any.' Jordan turn? ed and faced Riley, who was stooping over a little, getting something out of b:s pocket, when Hansford S. Porter presented a six shooter, fired over R: Io v's shoulder, the ball striking Jordan centrally in the breast, and entering tho right cavity of the heart. Jordan fell m the arme of Mr.* Riley, aud died in about fifteen minutes. Tho Porters then ' ?libera tely bade good morning and walked off. At the crack of the pistol the colored men left, leaving Mr. Riley alone with (ho dying man, and having no weapon of any description at band, and the Porters being fully armed and apparently desperate, he was powerless to ar? rest them. Sometime airee, we gave an ac? count of the shooting of Mr. John Porter, a brother of Hansford and Milledge, by Lorti gue, in the Fork, and it is supposed that thc Portera Dcheved Jordan assisted Lartigue in that transaction. Tho ball that killed Jordan passed over tho shoulder of Mr. Riley, takiug the lint from bis coat, and the powder burning his nee*; in the meantime it Mr. Riley nad straightened up he would have received tho discbarge himself, and wo would have had to chronicle also the death, perhaps, of this esti? mable geutleman, as Milledge Porter sood ready with his double-barrel gun lovelled to shoot Jordan it Hansford failed. Tho coroner's inquest announced the deed a cold blooded murder. Tho Porters, as yet, have not been arrested, -iir. Jordan was the son-in-law of Mr. Daniel Young, and we hear, an honobt, hard-working mao. He leaves a young wife to mourn his untunoly late." FATAL KEROSENE ACCIDENT. The New Oileans Picayune gives the shock? ing details of ibo death, from a kerosene lamp explosion, of Mrs. Benedict, the wife of a wealthy Louisiana planter, residing a short distance below New Orleans : Mr. Benedict, her husband, had left the plan? tation for a visit to the city upon business, and Mrs. Benedict, with her little babe, had just re? tired to rest tor the night when thc accident occurred. A coal oil lamp was burning upon u standby thc bedside, and when the lady had i-ecu that her little one waa tucked in and cai ed for, ehe leaned forward and with her hand upon the screw of tho lamp turned it down, at the same time blowing down tho chimney to effectually extinguish the hut ern.g flame. In a.. instant'the blaze which had been forced down into the lamp ignited tho oil resulting in an explosion, the burning fluid covering the night clothes of tho lady and spreading itself over the bcd. Mrs. Benedict's screams attracted the attention of a nurse in an adjoining apartment, who rushing in seized the b thc, whose night clothes wero also on fire, and left the room in a state of terror which seemed to have paralyzed her. Mre. Bei.od c , with great presence of mind, wi upped the bed clothes about her to suffocate thc fire, but rinding that this would not do she left, the jed and room and ran down a flight of stairs into tho parlor, where she endeavored to a iflo thc flames with tho rugs and other woolou articles she could get hold of. Still thc fire demon clung to her, literally scorching her to doatli by inches, and ut last, in tue ireuzy ot despair she rushed Irom the house out into the night, and across tho fiuld, pass tho susnr. house to tho dwelling of the overseer, who, arousod by her cries, opened tho door and hurried her into his wife's apartments. The poor lady, around whom linens were quick? ly thrown, saturated with oil, was one living masa of burns; but for all this, and feeling that sho had but a little while to live, she talked as calmly as she was wont to do bet. rc the terrible accident bad happened. The over? seer, at her direction, left ut oucc for tho house, and succeeded in putting out tho fire and securing certain valuable papas, the place of ksoping of which hud been detailed to him bv Mrs. Benc?lico, with a calmness which was wonderful in one writhing in the agonies of death. Sue lin rered but a few hours. In person. Mrs. Benedict was quito portly, but was withal a woman of cx?cediug grace and beauty. She was well known in Louisiana un MK. sloncure, Mr. Benedict being her second husband. THE EAST RIVER BRIDGE. The Greatest Project of the Age. The project of Mr. R?chling, the famous en? gineer and suspension bridge builder, for unit? ing New York and Brooklyn by spanning the East River, has beeD approved by the commis? sion appointed to examine it, and it is said that thc work will be at once commenced. The first operations will be upon the Brook? lyn side, near the Fulton Ferry, whero excava? tions will be made, ninety-seven feet, down to the rock upon which the foundations of the abutment towers will be laid. Digging on the New York side will immediately follow, near Pier No. 29, East River. Rock is there found at one hundred and seven feet. The new bridge will be a striking and graceful feature of the surrounding scenery. Its proportions will be col'oasal. The entire length will be 5862feet, or about a mile and one ninth; but these figures may vary slightly when tho termini become settled. The New York terminus will either be on Chatham-street, opposite the Register's office, or in Chatham Square. The terminus in Bn oklyn will bo near the junction of Main and Fulton-streets. The structure will thus overtop many houses wh'ch are situated upon the Blope towards the river on each side. It will bo suspended in three openings, two of which will be on land, and one, of 1600 feet, over the water. The floor will be both fhro and water proof, tod will serve as roof to tho houses and stoics beneath. Its width will bo eighty feet within the the railings, equal to Broadway, and will be divided into fivo spaces, marked by six hues of iron trusses, independently ora side? walk of six feet on each side. As tho new bridge will weigh 3483 tons, being far more than twice as heavy and wide as any other structure of the kind in existence, the jar upon it will be scarcely perceptible, and the most violent winds will be powerless against it. Its weight in the daytime will bo perpetually augmented by more or less cars, carts, animals, and human Doings. Thc maximum weight of these, if covering the entire surface, would be 1270 tons, but an average of about 100 tons may be calculated on. Two passenger ti ams of cars upon eteel rails will run backward and forward over the bridge alternately. They will be attached to an endloss wire rope, propelled by a stationary engine on the Brooklyn std?. Their speed may be at twenty or thirty mileB au hour without injury to tbc structure. The heigth of the bridge above high tide will be one hundred and thirty feet, aud vessels, the upper masts of which exceed that, measurement, will be required to lower them on passing, which can be easily done. Prominent features of the work will be the towers on each side of the river. Their leng'.h at the base will be one hundred and thir y-four feet, and extreme width fifty-six feet. Their heigth tojhe roof will be two hun? dred and sixty-eight feet, at which point the length will be reduced to poe hundred and twenty feet, and the width to forty feet. The* estimated cost of the bridge is to bo $6,675.357, without the purchase of real estate on either side. It will, perhaps, be nearer 17,000.000. Of this $5,000,000 have been iaised $3,000,000 by the Brooklyn Common Council, $1,500,000 by that of New York, and $500,000 bv private subscription. When the work will have become far advanced, through the expenditure of the $5.000.000, it will bo easy to issue bonds for the remaining sum needed. - The Union Ferry Company are now trans . porting 40,000,000 persons annually across the East Rivtr. EXIT BON BJL4.TT. Is Tired of Playing Correspondent ;Coircspondence Cincinnati Commercial, April 20.] Thero is so much interest conterod about Washington City, and BO on tho increase, that tho day is not far distant when the best talent connected with journalism will be employed bore. Tho day of Stato capitals, and tho'in ffitli&'e V2iohPKjf^?2!"J??"S PS?^Li^aJ'rc will over bo a return. A great empire is being built up, and its power is gathered about its capital at Washington. All interests are affect? ed by its working, and all eyes are turned upon its central city. A great good can bo accom? plished by having employed as correspondents the beet talent and the highest character. I do not mean to insinuato that wo have nono of that sort. I mean only that we ought to have moro. Mr. George Alfred Townsend, General Boynton, Sidney Andrews, and a corps of oth? ers have done good work; but there is moro to bo done and a wider field before us in which to operate. It'S not pleasant work. If one does his duty as a correspondent, he finds himself in a con? tinual s talo of war. There is so much I hat is corrupt, so much that is false, so many bad men and snch a host of weak ones, that the correspondent who looks only to his duty fiodB himself regarded as ill-tempered, unreasona? ble and ugly. Then the correspondent feels a traditionary contempt entertained by certain ancient John Donkeys, whoso presence in Con? gress is a casualty. They haston to repress this, aud receive countenance in the repression from certain rats in the profession who dis? grace their class. If this stupid and extravagant business of publishing the Globo could be stopped, as it ought to be, tho legislative acts of our law? makers would be sifted through the brains of correspondents, and the knives would find an unhealthy notorietv, and the fools no existence whatever outside the narrow circle of their own egotism. As it is, all find a common burial in this dry husk of brain which is published at such a tearful cost of money and reputation. My own experiences as a correspondent draw to a close. This is my last letter, and I am glad lo be relieved. You will excuse tho ego? tism that nrompts mo to spook of myself. It is natural. I have had a realizing sense of the power of a little pen wbon aimed at scamps and fools. "Prou l I am, well miy I bo, to seo The men, not fearing Qed, afraid of rae."

WARING, April 23 fmwlmo Cashier. JO-A CARD FROM MR. GEORGE H. GRU? BER.-To MT FBIEKDS : It is with extreme regret tbat I announce to my friends and patrons that cir? cumstances beyond my control compelled me to dis? continue my business at Un; old stand of N. M. Pon TEE ii Co., No. 230 Kinsr-streot. Io making this announcement I beg to teodor my sincere thanks for their liberal patronage and support, and trust tbat in my new position they will extend the same liberality. .My limited capital, together with losses of the past three years, impaired my credit to euch an extent that it was difficult to keep up a supply of goods without paying exorbitant prices, and I was fast Iosmg my health, business and friends. In this extremity I appealed to Messrs WM. S. CORWIN A CO., ami tho liberality which so characterizes that Urm was at once extended to me, and I am now en? abled to offer better inducements. Tbeir extensive capital and experience permits them to offer a finer class of goods at about thc prices I had to pay, par? ticularly in Teas, Champagnes, Clarets, Brandies, Ac. Tho combined ef^rts of myself and fortnor partner, Mr. .n M LS 8. MARTIN, will be to please you, and we respectfully solicit a continuance ol your patronage; and we pledge ourselves to give our personal and prompt attention to such. Agaiu thanking you for past favors and indulgencies, I re? main your obedient servant, GEO. H. GRUBER, Caro of WM. 3. CORWIN & Co., No. 27 i King-street, Between Wentworth and Beau fain, April 14 wfm6 And opposite Hasel-street am~ COMMON SENSE RULES THE MASS of tho people, whatever the misnamed and misan? thropic philosophers may say to the contrary. Show them a good thing, let its merits bc clearly demon, struted, and they will not hesitate to give il their most cordial patronage. The masses have already ratified the Judgment of aphysician concerning thc virtues of HOSTETTER'S BITTERS, as may be seen in the immense quantities of this medicino that are annually sold in every section of tho land. It is now recognized as greatly superior to all other remedies yet devised for diseases of tho digestive organs, euch as diarrhoea, dys ntcry, dyspepsia, and for the vo rious fevers that arise from derangement of those portions ol thc system. Hostetter's name ie rapidly becoming a booschold word, from Maine to Texas, from thc sh: rea of the Atlantic to tho Pacific. These celebrated STOMACH BI TTE It S have doubtless cre? ated as much sensation in tbe community for their remarkable cures as any other medicine extant It is a fact that in thc minds ol many persone a preju? dice *xl*ts against what are called patent medicines ; but why should this prevent you resorting to an ar? ticle that bas such an array of testimony to support i t as HOiTETTER'd STOMACH BLTTERS Physicians prscrlbe lt; why should you disciud ii? Judges, usual? ly considered men of talent, have and do use it in tueir iambic?; why should you reject it? Let not your prejudice usurp your mason, to the tvorlas?ng in? jury of your health. It is tho only preparation of the kind that is rcliablo in all cases, and it is there? fore worthy of tho consideration of the afflicted. The BITTERS aro pleasant to tbe taste, agreeable in their effects, and altogether valuablo as a toute or remedy for indigestion. April 21 . . PAP_0_ S3-TO CONSUMPTIVES.-THE ADVER?
